Teachers will have to wait longer before learning about a new pay deal, as talks to negotiate the deal were stalled on Thursday.

Instead, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has set July 20 as the new date for negotiations on the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

The CBA will cover a five-year period, from 2025 to 2029.

A proposal from the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) calls for a 50 to 100 percent salary increase and new allowances.
